Two unbeaten teams will face-off in the ICC Women's T20 Under-19 World Cup final in Malaysia after the reigning champions India defeated England in the second semi-final.

Battling for the last spot to take on South Africa in the title decider on February 2 in Kuala Lumpur, England opted to bat first after winning the toss.

They got off to a strong start, but India’s bowlers turned the game around, restricting thir opponents to 113.

In response, India made light work of the chase, reaching the target in just 15 overs to book their place in the second successive U19 World Cup final.
